Speaking of Costa, they have released all 2009 sailings with pronto cruise only prices starting at $549 AUD! Ask for details as it's not on the website yet. Cunard have released a new sector for Queen Mary 2 for 2009. Sailing from Singapore to Southampton we have called it Raffles to Ritz! Arriving in Singapore you will have one night at Raffles Hotel and then board Queen Mary 2 to cruise through India, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Egypt, Greece, Italy, France and Spain before arriving in Southampton where you'll spend one night at the Ritz Hotel, what a way to finish this great trip!

In case you missed the news last week, if you haven’t booked Queen Mary 2 Sydney to Singapore, you better get on board as there has been a price increase effective immediately on the normal rates.
